How do we move beyond banning or ignoring AI to purposeful engagement?
The Reality
The Opportunity
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” — John Dewey
What do professionals in our disciplines do? How are professional practices evolving?
The Goal: Help students become thoughtful, critical users of AI within their disciplines
Responsibility + Transparency
Generative AI tools can enhance your learning when used thoughtfully… AI should supplement—not substitute for—your own critical thinking
If you decide to use one of those tools you will not be penalized, instead we would like you to acknowledge when you have used them and where, particularly in your written responses.
